I've got a dark chocolate Kit Kat if you can make some use of that.

It's a bit droopy because of the hot weather though.

<outraged indignation> Would you expect anything less sir?!

Mind you, now they're not made down the road anymore, it's just not the same. And KitKats have gone downhill since Rowntrees moved production. Half the time the wafer and chocolate aren't aligned properly, and when you break it, lots of little bits fly off.

stephec - when my Mum and Dad first went to the pictures together, my Dad bought her a Toblerone, but he kept it in his overcoat pocket during the film and when they got it out to share it it was a bit limp...

Apparently he got her to go out with him in the first place by buying her a quarter pound of chocolate drops every lunch time until she caved in...

So, if I were to purchase a medium sized chocolate factory, I'd be in with a chance of a date with the fair Arch? ;)

What did she cave in to after eating all those?

And did his Toblereone ever stiffen up again?

AFAIK Kit Kats are still made at Nestle in York though. I'm a service engineer for food factory metal detectors so I've visited the Nestle plant many times. The smell of chocolate never gets boring no matter how many times you smell it, especially if you've had to do a full day in a raw meat proccessing plant the day before.

Hang on, shouldn't that last bit be in another thread somewhere?

Perhaps the floor caved in under her! (please note, my Mum is actually very slim and restrained in the matter of treats)

Well, I'm here...

Oh! My mistake then. I thought I'd read they were moving all production to Europe. But the quality has definitely shifted a bit...

Mmm, yeah. I rode past on the cycle path once and I swear each air vent must have been from a different sort of production line because the smell changed from coffee, to orange, to mint, to chocolate...:biggrin:

Patrick, dear thing, you know you'd be in with a chance if you bought a tin of cocoa and bag of marshmallows...;)
